The Community Access Center (CAC) first opened its doors to the community in 1995 and today, has a 24 year history of providing quality services to people with disabilities living in Riverside County. The CAC is a uniquely qualified resource center, as it is consumer controlled and driven. We remain consumer-controlled by maintaining a staff and board of director majority of at least 51% people with disabilities. This personnel majority brings a wealth of first-hand experience living with disability, which influences every aspect of the organization. The resulting program development and direct service delivery responds to local needs, for which staff and board members themselves understand and have experienced first-hand.
